Purdue, Penn State, and Michigan have come up with good wins. Michigan State laid an egg.

Now if Illinois can pull an upset and Ohio State can beat LSU......the Big Ten can get some swagger back.

Great win for Michigan even though I was pulling for the Gators.

SEC is now 5-1 in Bowl games so far.

Hope that goes to 6-1 later this evening. :wink02:

What a Knight

Illinois tried but the tenacity and relentless attitude of the finest defense in the NCAA kept the gritty Iliini in check.

As I've said before...Rey Maualuga :jawdrop: He's nuts.

I've watched alot of opposing tailbacks play against the USC defense and I can't recall many performances quite like Rashard Mendenhall. Dude is for real.

Re: Big Ten coming up big so far.

Michigan thoroughly outplayed Florida, and should have won by 21. That was a big win for that program. Hawaii was about what I thought they were. Would have been nice to see them matched with illinois, as both were really out of place and overmatched. Juice was way off his game, and Georgia's defense was too much for the Warriors. It's would have been interesting to see the high powered passing game of Hawaii vs, the Illini power running game, although the difference would have been Illinois defense. Georgia vs. USC would have been a great game.

Dude, Florida would win that game 8 times out o 10. Plus with 4 turnovers Michigan had no business winning that game. But the Michigan coaching staff came up with a good game plan and thats what on that game other than our young defense.

SEC is now 6-2 so far

I disagree with that. Michigan proved the were clearly a better team. If they didn't happen to turn the ball over so much it would have been a blowout

Overall, I still think the SEC is the best conference with the BIg 10 being the second best

Yeah, the Pac 10 kind of dropped the ball this bowl season. This was their big chance to blow people away on a big stage and it just didn't happen. ASU laid an egg against a mediocre Texas team. Cal almost lost to a service academy. UCLA blew a sure win against BYU. Oregon and USC really pulled their bacon from the fire and turned it in to a decent bowl season for the PAC.

If OSU can find a way to win against LSU, I think the Big Ten can reclaim the title of second best conference in the country again.
